Perfecting: In and For the Wild (Elder John Swain Jr.) // LUSH (Pastor Terrance Richmond) 9.7.2025 - 9AM

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.

Amen. Gonna do things a a a slight bit

different today. Over the last few weeks we've

been talking about the equipping of the Saints and the maturing,

the, the perfecting, the growing up.

And we, we, we can't, we can't stop it.

Just wanting to be saved, right? Like Jesus has to go from Savior

to Lord in our lives. We can't always need to be

rescued, saved, promoted. What's next, right?

It's get the orphan out of our faith because there's a dying

world. Anybody living this world with

me does know that there's it's a dying world out here.

And what I do understand about being a spirit filled believer,

everywhere we go things should shift.

It doesn't mean everything that shifts is noticeable to the eye,

but if you stay somewhere long enough, things should change.

Starting with the unseen. And what I do feel and know that

as a lot of times what we think revival is, is it is mere

awareness and there's behavior modification.

Behavior modification is not revival.

Because I change how I respond or act does not mean it's

revival, and it also doesn't mean maturity.

A serial killer knows how to modify behavior well enough to

convince someone to get in the car with them, hide their

behavior for months, and then all of a sudden abuse begins.

Be careful of modifying behavior, calling it

transformation and we're in the day and time.

What is at risk? The Bible says that the elect,

the elect is the chosen ones. The elect is some of you in here

that know Jesus serve in the church, The elects not just the

church goer, the elect. The Bible says the elect will be

drawn away. Now there's levels to drawing

away. Some drawing away is complete

turning away from the faith. The other level of drawing away

is you will find believers elect putting their gears.

In park and you are no longer impactful.

In the Kingdom, for the Kingdom, that level is you're lukewarm.

You, you served 10 years ago. You no longer serve because

you're convinced that the church is bigger than the four walls.

OK, that's like saying your house is bigger than your house.

No, your house matters. God's house matters.

The point of the equipping of the church is not to get caught

in the snares of the world. It is to equip the body.

Where does the by? Where's the body's house?

It's the local church and there's an attack against the

local church. There's an attack against the

leaders. There's an attack against the

relevance of local church. And then there's some of us.

We may think local church is very important.

But we don't even get specific about which local church is

important for me based on what God's put in me and what God

needs to cultivate in me and the type of leadership that I need

and training I need, right? It's the local church and just

whatever closest to me or whatever.

No, no, this is not like depending on what you want to

work. Some gyms don't have all the.

Equipment you need for your goals.

And so today you're going to hear from two of us.

You're going to hear from Elder John 1st and you're going to

hear from me second Matthew 16. Now I just told Elder John, get

ready. I don't know what he going to

share. He don't know what I'm going to

share, but we probably going to see how God is saying something.

But what God's going to release to you today.

I ask that you put any pride down, any suspicion down, any

intellectual reasoning down, and just hear and ask the Lord to

reveal to you what he's saying The Scripture says here.

Jesus said to Peter, For flesh and blood did not reveal this to

you, but my Father who is in heaven.

The Holy Spirit revealed who Jesus was beyond what he could

see with his naked eye. Today you need to hear beyond

what your your your, your literal.

Ears can hear. You need to hear what the Spirit

of God is saying in these last days because eyes will be

tricked, ears will be manipulated in the last days

like never before. Zechariah 4/6 says not by might

not, not by intelligence, not not by oh I'm a seasoned St. not

by I'm a pastor's kid, not by I'm a leader, not by might nor

by power, but by my spirit. There is levels to this and we

have become very intellectual with a spiritual God.

And now here it is. AI has become our Holy Ghost.

Ephesians 117 For I always pray to God of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Father Glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and

revelation, of insight into mysteries and secrets in the

deep and intimate knowledge of Him.

Not every believer is eating from eating the same diet.

We're getting the same food. Not every believer is digesting

from revelation. So you're going to hear stuff

today and. Part of the.

Room is going to hear one thing, another part is going to hear

another thing. But the power of the Holy Ghost

is He can all help us hear what we supposed to hear.

He says by having the eyes of your heart flooded with light so

that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called

you. Uh oh, that big word called you

and how rich his glorious inheritance in the Saints, His

set apart ones so that you can know and understand what is the

immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of his

power in and for us who believe as demonstrated in the working

of his mighty strength. Father, I thank you today that

we hear Holy Spirit have your way.

We cast our cares down. We put our pride down.

We put our judgments down. We put our our our prejudices

down. We put our racisms down, we put

our biases down, and we ask Holy Spirit, unite us around the

throne. Feed us something that will

shift, that will remove the blocks, that will unplug our

ears. Demonstrate today Holy Spirit in

Jesus name, Amen. Pastor, I just want to thank you

for this opportunity once again, particularly in these sacred

holy moments that we have as God is doing some amazing work in

our church and our lives. So the part I want to share

today is I'm going to give you a title to anchor your thinking,

and that is perfecting the Saints, maturing for the wild.

And in the wild, perfecting is about maturing.

And that procuring part of it comes in a place that's more

isolated, more set apart, set off.

It's not the only place. It's not the only way.

Coming and hearing a message is not the only aspect of

perfecting or maturing the guy uses.

Procuring occurs in the wild outside of these walls, so there

are places where you become perfected that are separate from

the wild. That's the idea for the wild,

but you also have to learn how to be perfected and mature in

the midst of the wild, in the midst of where you go, and

that's really, really critical. There's two parts to it.

I want to set this as a foundation for Scripture, and

I'm going to read it in some detail because I think it's

worthwhile to repeat. It's something that passes

already set up, but I'm going to read it in detail.

Ephesians 4, starting in verse 11.

And he gave some apostles and some prophets, some evangelists,

some pastors and teachers, for the perfecting of the Saints,

for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of

Christ, until we all come in the unity of the faith, and for the

knowledge of the Son of God. Unto a perfect man, unto the

measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, that we

henceforth oh, so that from this time forward we be no more

children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of

doctrine by the slight of men and cunning craftiness whereby

they lie in wait to deceive. But speaking the truth in love,

we may grow up. The perfecting is for to get us

to a point where we're speaking the truth in love, where we may

grow up into Him in all things, which is the head.

Even Christ, from whom the whole body fitly joined together and

compacted, that by that which every joint supplies according

to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes an

increase of the body unto the identifying of itself in love.

Now I want to read that last little part over in a different

version to help catch your ears if you didn't quite follow that

part. So instead speaking the truth in

love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of

Him who is the head that is Christ.

From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every

supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love as each

part does it's work. I want to revisit that first

part. And he gave some apostles, some

prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers for the

perfecting of the Saints, for the work of the ministry, for

the edifying of the body of Christ.

It doesn't say for the perfecting of the Saint.

It says for the perfection of the Saints.

That suggests you can't be perfected on your own.

It's not independent perfection. It suggests that your perfection

will be fully realized in the context of the body being

perfected together. And if you're out trying to be

perfected on your own independently, you will come

back to a body and find yourself out of place because the body

may have been perfected beyond where you've been perfected.

And so now you're trying to plug something that doesn't fit into

something that does fit. The New Testament talks about

this. You don't put a new a new patch

onto A to the old garment. You don't put new wine in the

old wine skin. Otherwise what you'll lose it

all perfecting of the Saints, not the Saint.

That's why gathering in context of community is so critical.

He gave these gifts to the body, to the church for that.

Perfecting perfection is not an individual work, it's a body,

local church work. It also doesn't say for the

perfecting of the Saints faith. It says for the perfecting of

the Saints, not for the perfecting of the Saints Faith.

It's just for for the perfecting of the Saints.

Perfecting is a relational soul, inner man, posture, character,

affection, identity, being sonship, matter first and

foremost. God is perfecting you more than

what you do. He's perfecting you more than

how you believe. Who you are will determine how

you believe. So God understands I'm going to

make the first thing the first thing.

If I become perfected as a son, my faith will be in my Father as

automatically. I cannot be perfected as a son

without having faith in the Father who created me to be a

son in Him. Perfecting is a relational.

Not informational, not learning, not instructional.

It's a relational. You can't be perfected without

being with people who you called to be perfected with.

It's relational. It's a heart posture.

It's an inner man. You can be amongst people but be

disconnected because inside you're unaffected and

disaffected and your affections are other places.

This whole song said this. Your body's here with me, but

your mind is on the other side of town.

You can be one place but not be present there.

Perfecting is not about where your body is.

It's about where your heart and soul is and the people you're

giving your heart and soul to. Discipleship is a strategy for

perfecting the Saints. Discipleship requires

accountability, so whenever you're looking to duck

discipleship, then you're ducking perfecting, and if

you're not being discipled, then you're not being perfected

because discipleship is the strategy through which God does

the perfecting. It's really important to

understand that because if you don't want to be discipled, it's

going to be difficult for you to be perfected and discipled.

In what context? God didn't say I gave teach, I

gave the book writers. He said I gave these five fold

ministry gifts for this, perfecting for this.

This discipleship comes out of what God has established in his

church house, the gifts he's placed in in the church house.

That's why in order to be fully discipled, you got to be

discipled from that context as you move into other contexts.

Discipleship begins with the Word.

You can say I want you to disciple me, but do you let the

Word disciple you? The first thing I got to ask you

is this. It's the Word, the final

authority in your life. Now understand, I'm not saying

it's your favorite verse, the final authority.

I'm not saying it's the verse that gets you what you want,

final authority, but it's the entire Word, the final

authority, so that when you're looking for what you want,

you're also going to be looking for your cup.

Where am I weak? Where am I confused?

Where am I blindsided? Where are my blind spots?

And I'm going to listen to the full counsel of the Word of God.

It begins with the Word. Are you willing to let the Word

disciple you? Now the Word is the Bible, but

it's also the message that comes from the platform every Sunday.

If you're not willing to let those disciple you, then my

speaking in your life is going to be irrelevant.

The Father is speaking to all of us through the bigger context of

what He's saying on Sundays and when we gather.

That's why Sundays is important. My wife said it this way.

Can you imagine looking at a movie?

I'll call it a French film because they're very

conversational. You know a conversational movie

and you come in in the 1st 5 minutes, you leave for 10

minutes, come back in another 10 minutes, you leave for another

10 minutes and then come back for the final end of the film.

You think you're going to understand the conversation,

What's what happened? Is this in the first part, I'm

going to understand, I'm going to go away.

As soon as I come back, I'm going to say, what did I miss?

And then saying what did I miss? I'm automatically missing what's

in front of me right now, OK. And the whole time I'm trying to

figure out what will happen and where I am, which is mean I'm

not fully receiving what's in front of me.

Then I'm going to go away again. And then when I come back, I'm

going to do this. I don't really miss too much.

I'm gonna finish it, but I'm not going to get it or let it

transform me at all. Conversation it's it's a

conversation and the idea of the messages God's given for a

house, God's doing a conversation.

So 9:00 AM starts the conversation, 12 continues the

conversation. Wednesday we're not going to

Tuesday is another aspect of the conversation.

If you when you say you're letting the messages disciple

you, that means the entire conversation, not just the one

that's convenient for your brunch time, your lunch time,

your work time, your off time, your pleasure time, or your rest

time, or your weekend time. And also the prophetic words of

the house. Are you letting them also help

disciple you? Maturing calls for rooting.

Everyone say rooting. Why?

Because roots means you're going deep.

So you're not shaking. We read in Ephesians 4.

But you don't be tossed to and fro.

That's the aspect of a wind blowing.

Let them to have ears to hear. But you don't be tossed to and

fro because winds are coming. Some of the winds are from the

enemy and some of the winds are from God because God's revealing

to you what your roots and what your fruit are Maturing calls

for rooting. Roots help you seek water.

They help you stand tall. They help you fight wilting.

They anchor you against winds. And this is really key.

Roots protect the soil. Why do I need this brother

rooted in the house? His roots help keep out the soil

of our hearts and the soil of our community together.

If you take all the roots out, then when water comes, the soil

washes away and there's no next generation of trees that can

plant that can grow there. I need Him to be rooted along

with me to be rooted, because together we will help preserve

more soil. What's soil?

The church, the work of the ministry here, the heart of God.

Him being rooted helps us keep a atmosphere for others to come

and get rooted, others to come and get transformed.

Maturing begins and ends with purging or pruning.

He cuts off every branch. Maturing is not dealing with

fruit. Maturing is not fruit.

The fruit is purge. The purge I decide how much I

got to cut back first. Then based on the fruit, I

decide how much I got to cut back again.

The next fruit season doesn't begin when you pick the fruit.

It begins when you cut back that determines the fruit for the

next season. What does that mean?

Maturity means you're going to be, you're going to be cut a lot

more than you're going to be feasting.

And you got to be comfortable with that.

You got to give yourself to a place of saying, I'm willing to

be purged. I'm willing to be checked.

I'm willing to be held accountable because that's the

way you are producing fruit. Now understand this.

The purpose of the tree of the vine is the plant, not the

fruit. The purpose of an apple tree is

not to produce apples, it's to produce apple trees.

It's the consumer that stops at the fruit and neglects the tree.

The whole purpose of the fruit is to contain, to create a

healthy environment in which more apple seeds can be placed.

So when those seeds are then released to the ground, more

apple trees can produce. The purpose of an apple tree is

to produce apple trees, not apples.

If the purpose is apples, you can go to the grocery store and

get apples, but you can't get apple trees at the grocery

store. So understand that this process

is to produce a healthy infrastructure, not just the

benefits of what the infrastructure brings.

Perfecting is the is for the work of the ministry to the body

of Christ, not unbelievers. Go back and read the scripture

we just talked about for the perfecting of the Saints, for

the work of the ministry to the edifying of the body of Christ.

The perfecting is to help you prepare the body, not the

unbelievers. So if you're perfecting but

evading the body, then you are really missing the point of your

perfecting. And it can be very easy to

distract you from what perfecting is by having you do

something that's focused more on those that don't believe or

those that are outside of your body.

The local church body that God gives you your perfecting is for

your local body as well. There's A and it's for the work

of the ministry. Everyone say work of the

ministry. John 6 says this.

What's the work of God? To believe the work of the

ministry is not to do is to believe in the one he has He has

sent. That's the work of the ministry.

Perfecting is coming to help you further believe in the one that

God has sent. That's very important because it

goes back to heart posture who you are on the inside

individually. Perfecting is for that

relationship with God the Father not accomplishing more work and

it's good to know father in the context of all of his kids and

particularly the families placed you in 2nd Corinthians 517

through 19 talks about this. That part of our work is the

ministry of reconciliation. When we talk about the work of

the ministry, what's the work to believe in the one He sent and

then to reconcile us and others to that one whom He sent to

reconcile us and others to God as a Father.

That reconciliation is not a one time thing.

It is a continuing, ongoing thing in which you are

continually measuring how am I walking relative to the full

image of Christ so therefore I can grow more fully to that

image of Christ. It's not a one time thing.

Jesus has done it all in his sacrifice.

But we live it out all day today and we live it out in the

context of our community and the context of our local body.

Perfecting leads to the unity of the body that causes the world

to know that Jesus was sent. Those scriptures there talk

about how God's Jesus says, God, I want them to know that you

sent me. Have them dwell in unity.

Ephesians 4 talked about for the perfecting of the Saints, for

the edifying of the body of Christ, until they come to the

unity of the faith, not the doctrine, the unity of the

faith. This perfecting is to bring us

to a place of unity in the faith, not for theology, but for

the knowledge of the Son. The purpose of the unity is to

know Jesus as a Son. God is a Father, and for us to

know who He is. Not to throw theology around and

say this is better or that is better.

The perfecting leads to that kind of unity because when we're

walking in that unity, Jesus says the world will know that

God sent me. It's easy.

The issue is sometimes the church is distracted by trying

to win the lost and stepping over the people in their

household. It's great.

I can be generous of people outside the house, but am I

loving the folks in my house? It's for the body.

The purpose of perfecting is not to overtly reach the lost, but

to create a mature body so loving and united with the

Father and each other that the world is compelled to ask, what

do I got to do to experience this?

That is the purpose of the perfecting.

And you can't say I'm perfecting with God, but not being

perfected with His body, and most specifically with the local

church he's assigned and called you to.

Perfecting has processes, multiple processes.

Perfecting has a process, and I mean there's different

processes. I want to talk about two as I

close. Suffering is the beginning of

maturing to hope. If perfecting is maturing, then

suffering is a process by which you mature to hope.

You gave me what? You can't run from hard work.

You can't run from when it's hard or when you have to

sacrifice because suffering, not pain.

Suffering is hard work. You can suffer without pain.

Suffering means just to endure and put yourself under, and to

submit yourself to and to sacrifice.

Romans 5 says this. Therefore, since we have been

justified through faith, we have peace with God our Lord Jesus

Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this

grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory

of God. Here we go, verse 3.

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings because we

know that suffering produces perseverance, perfecting

perseverance, character, and character hope.

Notice how much of that is about the Saint being perfected, not

just the saint's performance being perfected.

And hope does not put us to shame because God's love has

been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who's

been given unto us. The process of perfecting that

involves suffering leads to a hope that responds to the love

of God in a way where the love of God can't be defeated.

The love of God can't be can't be blocked or stopped.

And another process is using what you have is the process of

maturing to knowing right from wrong and righteousness.

Hebrews 5 says this. We have much to say about this,

but it's hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try

to understand. You quit trying to understand.

You quit trying to grow. You quit trying to press in.

You quit trying. Now you're waiting for people to

come to you rather than you going out and trying.

In fact, though, by this time you ought to be teachers.

You need someone to teach you the elementary truth of God's

Word all over again. You need milk, not solid food.

Anyone who lives on milk being still an infant is not

acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.

You need to know be mature to understand righteousness.

But solid food is for the mature who by constant use have trained

themselves to distinguish good and evil.

If you're not using what God is doing, you will not know good

from evil, and you will never be prepared for the mature weight

of your things. Perfecting requires you to use

what's being given. The word being preached, the

sermon's being delivered, the relationships being here, the

leaders God's put in your life. If you are not using them as a

resource, using them to help disciple you, then you are

missing out on what God is giving to perfecting you.

I want to close with this. Hebrews 511 from the AMPC says

this. Concerning this we have much to

say, which is hard to explain since you have become dull in

your hearing and sluggish, even slothful and achieving spiritual

insight. For even though by this time you

ought to be teaching others, you actually need someone to teach

you all over again. You've come to need milk, not

solid food. That last phrase, it's

suggesting this. There was a time when you

desired meat. There was a time when you want

to press in the meat, but you've grown sluggish.

You don't try to understand. You separate yourself from the

body. You separate yourself from a

heart, affection, commitment to the people that God has around

you, and you just don't even try anymore.

You used to do that and because you've drifted, now I got to go

back to the beginning with you and teach you from the very

beginning. You can lose what you got if

you're not maturing, is the point.

If you're not maturing, you're losing what you got by

definition, and if you're not doing it in the context of the

body, then you're not able to fully mature, which means you

eat still own milk anyway. God is calling us to perfect for

the wild and in the wild. Want to pray?

Father, we thank you for the Word.

We thank you for His ability to penetrate our hearts and lives

and our souls. We thank you, Father, our hearts

and lives are open and we receive not only the Word, but

the voice of your Spirit on which that Word is carried.

We thank you, Lord God, that we're going to let the Word

transform us and everything that Pastor Terrence prayed about

being gielded to the Spirit to hear and listen today, We're in

agreement with it. So let the Word bear fruit, let

the word transform, let the word cut.

What cut needs to be? Let the word prune what pruning

needs to be. God, everything's on the table

today. All of it.

Even the secret parts I keep from everybody.

It's all on the table. Today we received in Jesus name,

Amen. He is equipping us because the

wind it's about to blow. The wind is blowing.

I was watching these two Katrina documentaries and I remember

that time and not really get into the governmental side of

things and all that, but just the, the actual Katrina and

there was warning that this tornado was coming or hurricane

was coming. Like most hurricanes have a

warning. And, and there's these levees

that I forget the, the hurricane that happened in the 60s that

was even worse than Katrina, but the levees broke then and then

the hurricane was over. So the damage, most of the

damage that we saw was not from the hurricane.

It was from the levees breaking. And after they broke, before

they did, they did all their research and they built these

levees, but they also built these levees that that they knew

with the right storm would be broken again.

And the levees was to keep the city from flooding because the

city is in a ball, it's 6 feet below sea level.

And I encourage you go and go and go and watch the

documentary. But the idea that that I'm

getting to is the the wind came like it was told it was coming,

but but the people was not prepared for what the wind would

activate. See you.

You're just thinking that the wind blowing.

But when the wind blows, it's going to expose things.

It's going to expose if the walls that you have put up are

Gods way of of of guarding your heart or that was your trauma or

your carnal way of the wind is blowing and it's coming and even

in this room today the wind is blowing.

I feel the Lord. I sense the spirit really trying

to get us to look at our hearts. Watch this there.

There will be no slides from from me today.

I am, yeah. Thank you, EJ Matthew 13 to

start at verse 11. Can you give me the TPT really

quickly, please? The wind is blowing.

It's not just harvest time, it's inspection time.

And, and the fact that he's going to come and blow away all

the little, little paper houses we built and the sand houses we

built is because he loves us. Understand that pruning is God's

love, he explained. You've been given the intimate

experience of insight into the hidden truths and mysteries of

the realm of Heaven's Kingdom, but they have not believers.

The truths that God has shared with you is precious.

Not every believer knows Jesus and if he has been revealed to

you, if you have experienced any amount of revelation, understand

that you are in an elect or an elite group of people, not

better than, but there is something that has been unveiled

to you that has not been saw by everybody.

Every Christian don't see Jesus. We we use, we request, we

demand, but not every believer in this room walks with Jesus.

Every believer he walks with, Not every believer walks with

him. OK, He said what I've given you.

Not everybody that was at my sermon heard what you heard.

Not everyone in this room is hearing the same thing.

Watch it next verse for everyone who listens with an open heart

will receive progressively more revelation until he has more

than enough. He left off talking about meat

and milk and saying that, you know, you actually got to keep

being perfected to keep growing. You got to keep eating to keep

growing. You look, look, you got to get

muscle. We're not eating to get fat.

We're eating to get strong. We're eating to get muscle.

We need protein. He says, but those who don't

listen with an open heart teach. Your bold heart is why the

scripture says I pray that the eyes of your heart, there's a

lot of us in here. Oh, you hear me, right?

You like, you hear what you hear.

Here's the here's the ear test. When I say, hey, it's my last

scripture, last point, you might say, yeah, right, you heard.

But the moment you're paying attention to length and not

substance, you don't have an open heart or teachable.

You have a critical heart, a judgmental heart, a suspicious

heart. It says those who don't listen

with an open heart. They say those who don't listen.

He's speaking to your posture of listening.

Some of you come in here and listen for what your friends

told you to watch out for. Even the understanding that they

think they have will be taken from them.

It's not PT. This is, this is JC.

That's who talking. It's red right here.

This is red ink right here. He said those that don't come

with a teachable heart. An open heart.

Teachable. Accountability.

Listen. Ready.

Teachable. You don't know it all.

Don't care how long you've been saved.

Don't get. Don't care how many doctorates

you have. Don't care.

We flesh and blood did not reveal this to you.

Oxford. Oxnard did not.

Harvard did not reveal this to you.

It didn't reveal this to you. Your app didn't reveal this to

you. Yo, you too pastor, didn't

reveal this to you. Your parachurch you belong to

didn't reveal this to you. You listen more to people that

don't even know you than the ones that can smell you.

Shepherds smell the sheep. And you're more submissive to

leaders across the world that don't even know you beside a

Zoom. You keep distance from in person

accountability. In person word, you critique

everything. But then you look at the

magnitude of other people's ministry and somehow the the

quantity of following is what got you listening.

Last days, you can see how we'll stray away.

We have options. At first it was just the church

down the street. Now it's the church down the

street, around the corner, five blocks away.

It's the online church. It's the church in my phone.

It's my friend's church. It's my mama's church.

It's it's YouTube. It's Instagram.

I don't even need YouTube because I don't want nothing

that long. I can just get Yep, I have I, I

look, look, when you listen to sermons like this, you a milk

Christian, right, right. Like I've never went nowhere

with really good meat and rushed that meal.

My fork and knife hit the hit the table a few times because

I'm letting this thing digest. This ain't no buddy burger.

This ain't no quick little meal through the drive through.

This is some substance. This is prime rib.

This is rib eye. No bone in it.

This this is aged meat. That's that's why I teach.

Watch this. Watch this, watch this yo-yo, we

just made Jesus in this little soft little just oh, he just

going to care about my pity party.

He going to see that I'm not getting my needs met.

And so he going to help me find a place where my needs are going

to watch what he does. He says if you don't have an

open heart, what he has revealed to you, the little you have

gotten, he's going to take that away.

That's why you got to start over at milk, because the meat you

did have, it was taken away because you stopped eating, he

said. That's why I teach the people

using. Parables.

That's why I speak. High language, you know, we, we,

we want, we want pastors to dumb it down.

Like just talk about love because I'm hurt.

I just want to know, you know, that I'm hurt and I love.

Let's talk about relationships. I'm like, can you help me with

my love life? Milk, you tell me how to get

more money. Those those financial principles

in the Bible, Milk, he says. Because they think they're

looking for truth. You know how people come to the

church and be like, I'm ready? To hear from the Lord today.

What if the what? That's why I teach the people

using parables, because they think they're looking for the

truth. Yet because their hearts are

unteachable, they never discover the truth.

Although they will listen to me, they never fully perceive the

message I speak. What?

What do you say? Fully perceive?

Fully perceive. They never fully receive the

message I speak. Next verse, please.

The prophecy. Isaiah describes them perfectly.

Although they listen carefully to everything I speak, they

don't understand a thing I say. They look and pretend to see,

but the eyes of their hearts are closed, their minds are dull and

slow to perceive, their ears are plugged and are hard of hearing,

and they have deliberately shut their eyes to the truth.

Otherwise they would open their eyes to see and open their

hearts to open their ears to hear and open their minds to

understand. Then they would turn to me and

let me instantly heal them. Oh, you thought because you went

to revival night, run to the altar, lay hands on me, throw

some oil on me. No, no, no, no.

Instant healing comes from the embracing of of some of that

meat that you don't want to hear, embracing the teachers and

pastors and apostles and and prophets that God has sent you.

Elder John said something about it's about a tree, the

infrastructure, but here it is what a lot of our arguments or

distaste is or choosing of churches is the programs that

they provide for us, fruit, healthy infrastructure.

Rarely have we went to a church and said how will you mature?

Me. Let me look at the fruit of the

maturing in your church versus the perfect, the perfect

programs you offer. I'm not saying man, all of this

is great, but it's like the stuff that got us stuck and the

stuff we need to be locked into. A church is rarely Jesus.

What if it's too long? Well, how do we?

How do we serve the people that's really hungry and don't

mind longer? What, what, what, what?

What if we're in a tent? What if the children's ministry

ain't up to par, Are you? What, what, what, what if we in

the ghetto? What, what, what, what?

What if you can't predict? What if you can't put your thumb

on what God's doing? What, what if you can't find the

pulse? What, what, what if you can't

have control? What, what what?

And what do you need to do the work of the ministry?

Now what do you need to be comfortable?

The work of the ministry EJ is this to help people carry their

cross, starting with you. The work of the ministry is not

merely producing a Sunday service that keeps you coming

back. The goal is not merely to feel

deceased when you're sent to go out there.

The goal is not to make you feel like you have a couch in the

house. The goal is to make you uncomfy

because we're on the go. Jesus is returning.

The goal is not to stop at I found my church home.

The goal is to I found my church equipping center.

Jesus is my home abide in me. I abide in you Your your your

favorite church is not your home.

Jesus is your home. The Father in that church house

is your home, but the work of the ministry is get living a

winning life because that's your witness light of the world.

Get out there and make disciples to obey what the Lord says.

But we're arguing over preferences.

So what if we got church Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

Friday, 7 AM, 10 AM. The point is to fish.

So maybe you got to have diversity because there's a

pond, there's a river, there's an ocean there, there's a lake,

there's all types of watch this. You ain't the only fish.

We got salmon that flow against the stream.

There's all types of fishing and he said you are fishers of men,

not fishers of her. And we just overlooked the

concepts that Jesus had given us.

God's doing a new thing in the earth 20 years from now.

Church will look different. It'll look different.

How we do it, the approach and how we do it, how we reach

people, it's going to look different.

Your local church is an assignment, not a luxury, right?

You don't just go to any college, not every college.

And and then maybe you go to any junior.

College while you trying to figure out what you want to

major in. But your local church is not

just this little pop up thing. You just whoever, whoever

talking about Jesus or wherever is the Bible.

That's where I'm going to go. No, you don't just go to any

college. You don't just apply for any

job. You don't just go to any

restaurant. Matthew 1324.

I believe it's the message I. Saw something and this is

something that contributes to the falling away, the

lukewarmness. And I love the analogy of a body

because you could take the word, you can look at it corporately,

you can you look at it universally when it comes to the

body, but you also can make it individually.

Right, He told another story. God's Kingdom is like a farmer

who planted good seed in his field that night, that night.

God's Kingdom is like a farmer who planted good seed, good seed

in his field that night while he while his hired men were asleep.

His enemy sold thistles all through.

Maybe it's the amplifier. I just I need, I need to see, I

need to see Darnell. I think it's amplified classic.

Amplified classic. Thank you.

Here's a parable. Remember this is he, he tells

parables. Because folks really ain't

listening. So those that really want to

listen from their heart, then you're going to pursue deeper

understanding. The Kingdom of God is like a man

who sold good seed in his field, but while he was sleeping his

enemy came. While he was sleeping, his enemy

came. While he was sleeping his enemy

came and sold. Also, Darnell weeds resembling

weeds resembling weeds resembling lies resembling

truth. Watch this wisdom resembling

God's answer, weeds resembling weeds among the weeds and went

out, went on his way. So this is not an enemy that

hangs around that needs to be cast out.

He sows a thought garden. He sews a he starts with an

imagination. He sews a question.

He sews something. He gives you wisdom.

He brings your counterfeit spouse.

He brings you the pastor that you think you want, but it's

just it's you can call him Bishop flesh.

It's it's, it's, it's the one that speaks to your fleshly

needs. It's the one that speaks to your

cultural, the relevance of what you want to be a part of.

It's not the one that's going to dig deep into your soul like the

word does and divide and expose this guy.

Darnell. He said so when it plants, it's

sprouted and formed grain. The Darnell appeared also when

it was harvest time, Darnell was up in there.

Hey, what's up girl? Right?

The opportunity. During harvest time, counterfeit

opportunities present itself. And when the wind blows, it

ain't just bringing fruit, it's also you.

That's why you need to be eating meat, because you need eyes to

see, you need ears to hear in this hour.

And the servants of the owner came to him and said, Sir, did

you not sow good seed in your field?

God, have you not been given us Word?

God, have you not been warning us?

Have you not been sowing good seed in US?

Have you not been revealing truth to us?

Have you not been warning us, encouraging us?

Have you not sent prophets? How many churches you know a

prophet can walk in and have a word for a church and that body

can hear and see and release the prophet that was sent to the

house to speak into the house and then have the maturity to

make sure the house stewards that word?

How many churches you know the prophet is alive in that house

this last hour? If all you be in is taught, you

getting fat and when the wind blows, you ain't going to be

able to move because you're not agile, because God has not been

proven to be able to enter your life and do what He wants to do,

mold you how He wants to mold you.

I was supposed to be in Atlanta today for an extremely cool

opportunity to work with a very hot producer right now.

Three days ago I was supposed and I made a decision at the

last minute and I said, man, I can't come.

I need to be here. Can we reschedule?

I was afraid to mess up the opportunity because I thought

the opportunity was going to pass, right?

This, this man or this woman? Is this the one God, If I don't

take it this time, Oh my, my, my, my, I'm not going to be able

to get pregnant. I'm, I need to get to have a

baby now. I need to get a job now.

I need to move now. And when the wind is blowing,

the greatest thing you can have is rootedness.

When there's a fear a year that God labels a year the year of

the fear of God and then he was so good to say the fog because

the flip side of it, the reason I need the fear of God because

this may be a year I cannot see clear, not because I'm in sin.

A lack of clarity does not mean you are wrong or missing

something. Sometimes God is hiding things

from you, so the only thing you need to see is not the thing you

want, but the thing you were made to worship is him.

Stop always wanting to see what's next and see what he got

for you. And who is my spouse, Reed?

When the last time you begged him to reveal him to you?

Not a spouse. It's it's it's harvest time.

But this is a time where great exposure is happening, he says.

Sir, did you not? He said.

Then then how does, how does how did Darnell get here?

You've been sitting under all this word.

How that's still happening to you?

How you still so gullible? How you still getting pulled

into that direction? You've been sitting under all

that word. Why you still anxious?

Because all you've been doing is just receiving seed.

You ain't dealt with weeds. You ain't dealt with your roots.

You have not let God transplant. You just let them.

Plant you let them sow seed you haven't let them take purge,

you're still holding on the stuff.

God's like, let it go. What if God said it ain't your

time for that, it's our time for us?

What if there's a season God just wants you by himself

because you finally got ears to hear, and the moment you can

hear, now you want to get your ears away to something or

somebody else. Can you go for a few years

without having gaps filled and let God feel them?

Can you walk with God? Walk with God, not just be a.

Christian, can you walk with God?

Can you find you in God's rhythm and pace?

Hey, look, I got kids I got to go to.

Calgary in a few days. Why?

Because my kids on another pace. The more people you add to your

life, guess what pace you're going to be all over.

You're going to be all over the pace.

And This is why you got to get rooted in Him first, so that

anybody that comes in your life, the rhythm that they merge into

is one that God has established, he replied.

Watch this an enemy has done this.

The servant said to him then do you want us to go and weed them

out? Said no, let's in gathering the

wild wheat you. Root up the true.

Wheat along with it, he said. Let them grow together until the

wind blows. And when the wind blows, I will

say to the reapers, gather Darnell first before you get any

fruit in this season, the Lord's gathering, Darnell, be careful

what you fight God to hold on to because God's faithful, the

fruit is coming. But if you are faithful, more

faithful over Darnell than you are your relationship with God

and what He has for you, Darnell will then enter into your

harvest time. What do you say?

Gather Darnell first and bind it in bundles to be burned.

But gather the wheat to my granary.

Somebody say Darnell. Now this is individually, but

now I want to say something. In every culture there's a

subculture, and I'm speaking to the.

Subculture leaders and voices in this room.

The subculture leaders. Who are those who will hear the

word? They're a part of the community,

they're a part of the culture. But in their own little coffee

time, in their own little little side ministries, they have

conversations about the culture, what they don't like, what could

be better, da da da da da, not knowing.

In some ways they're also sewing questions, suggestions, which

then birth in the immature doubt subculture, right?

You don't you don't you don't you don't go get counsel from

Pastor Julia, but you got your own male or female who you lean

on that ain't that don't even know you the same way.

And here's what I know about good shepherds.

They don't got to hang out in the field with you to know you

all the time. The assigned shepherd knows you

through divine connection and what I do know is those that

don't want to be pastored. You are a leader that is used to

start subculture spiritually, spiritually, spiritually.

It's not you starting your own church.

It's not any of that. It is a spiritual thing.

Pastor T&P day talk about dating you the person on the side that

will get in somebody's ear and be like.

Girl wouldn't like I I. Feel what he's saying, but right

it's the butt culture right it's the culture that that that

surround around the opinion of the word here.

It is teachable heart and you don't realize that you are being

used to plant Darnell when you've been called to disciple.

Find have your insecurities, have your doubts, have your

complaints, but shut your mouth and keep it to yourself.

If you don't want to be here, if you don't like what you see, if

you have, keep it to yourself. And that's not PT, that is God

telling you shut your mouth because you are planting Darnell

in infants and the Bible talks about the root of bitterness

that comes up. Watch it is, watch how it is.

He says it is presented to be good.

We do a lot of stuff and say a lot of stuff in Jesus name in

protecting and loving my sister and loving my brother.

Every person in here has had a manipulative spirit at some

point or time. What do I mean?

You've said something or are you like, I ain't going to even say

nothing no more. Somebody come to you and ask a

question or during the service. I see you looking.

I've even seen people texting. I pay attention.

I see one person text seeing women and women, then they look

over there and then I see the other person boom, boom, and

then they looking back and forth.

I I I busted, I busted the band before.

Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, you guys have how you

doing, Sir? Michael Michael being used to be

texting. Sometimes he's like no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, right, sometimes and and then

see, now you don't hear. The spirit of you like, oh, he

said. Shut up.

Some people dealing with no. No, no, I'm sure Jesus call them

brew Vipers. Have I called you out your name

right. Did you see?

See, we don't the Bible. We we don't really want Jesus

though. We don't really want the five

fold ministry. We don't want apostles.

We don't want prophets. We want pastors.

That's what we want. We we we don't.

We don't want the apostle. To come in.

Snatch us. We don't want the real shepherd

to snatch us out the grip. What?

But we love David's story, huh? But we forgot that he snatched

the sheep out of the the Wait, wait, wait.

We we highlight Goliath because we love this big old superhero

story, but we don't look at the intimacy of David having to

snatch a sheep out of the paw of a bear.

If then when they're shepherds that come and say, I can't

explain it to you because I got to cover everybody, but you are

in the ball. That person ain't the bear.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but when you got good

shepherds in the land and you refuse to listen, that is a

dangerous culture We're we're creating.

We wonder why the world looks at the church and laugh because in

a lot of ways we are a joke. We turn on each other.

The streets I came from man, We had real conversations.

You had beef with somebody back in the day that you put on some

gloves and you box it out and then guess what y'all do?

Y'all ride bikes and go play again with each other these

days, Christians. We just walk out the back door.

We murmur, we complain. We don't have no real

conversations. We'll sit in meetings for hours

with people and never say everything.

We'll keep parts off the table from good shepherds, from people

who love you. What's the Bible say?

He corrects, He realigns, He re establishes.

Those who he love. And because we've adopted the

world's version of love and we've mistaken God's love.

And God's love leads to maturity.

God's love. Raises up sons and daughters who

don't always need clarity before movement.

Yeah, right. Even that I did.

That's neat right there. There's some stuff that the

father says to the son. What we doing today?

Because the son is the soul winner, because the daughter is

a worshipper, there comes a point in the relationship where

he says, what we doing OK, y'all want to go have worship in the

park? Let's do it.

It ain't always well, let's pray about it.

And God, I woke up in a dream and God said we, we should, I

saw, I saw us in a park somewhere around a lot of trees.

I think that's the Lord saying it's time for a concert in the

park. That's, that's that's hard.

That's a hard relationship. What if every time your husband

said I want to go out to dinner and you like let me pray about

it. Can I just come home and say,

Hey babe, I don't care what you wearing we going to dinner

tonight. Let's go.

Can can we do spontaneous stuff in our marriage?

Have you ever had friendship where y'all were just sitting

around and somebody was like, hey, we should go to let's go.

But then every time when God is like he's, he's, he's put his

grace on somebody or some people and those people really what,

what's the point of walking with God if you always got to stop

and get clarity? Ain't, ain't he clarity?

Ain't he clarity? So if I'm walking with him, it

comes a point that everything that I'm doing he's interested

in and everything he's doing, I'm interested in.

We're one. That's why he says abide in me,

my word, abide in you. We going to roll together and

anything you ask, I shall give it to you.

Why? Because now you only want what I

want. I want what you want because you

what you want is what I want. You don't get married and be

like, hey, you want. You want to have some kids.

It's kind of assume we get married and we're going to start

a. Family right?

Yeah, some of y'all like I don't, I don't know.

OK, well, you know what I'm saying.

It's like, let's assume like we get married with starting a

family that's just kind of and then you just get married and

you go to work, right? And you, it is not like if you

about to get married this morning, you just like.

Do you want to start a family? And just like, let me pray about

that. Let me, I don't know, let me get

clarity if I want to have kids with you.

What what would what would you say?

See, the point of walking with God and maturing is to take the

transactions out the relationship.

One of the ways the enemy destroys culture is through

subcultures. He thrives in subculture.

Subculture. There's, there's a lot of extra,

there's a lot of sideshows. There's a there's, we're part of

the culture. We're just adjacent to it.

I need the community. But I don't necessarily need the

anointing on the House. I need a word, but I don't need

pastoring. Well, well, let's not look at

the He gave. Jesus died, He rose, and he gave

5 gifts to grow to church. Neither.

One was a pair of church. Parachurches are great, but I

would I would be very careful when the leaders of parachurches

aren't rooted in a church because there's a lot of

churches a parachurches that are birthed out of church hurt or

because their gifts weren't being used.

They decided to go start this thing over here.

And a lot of times what you gather is a lot of other church

hurt people. So we need the fear of the Lord

in this hour. Matthew 11.

And in this next experience, EJ, you'll pick up where you left

left off. I'll pick up where I left off

and write this down. There's no wind without a word,

and there's no word without a wind.

He said Ezekiel, you prophecy to the Spirit.

The wind ain't just coming. You got to call it and and and

love quest. We didn't pulled heaven down.

We didn't we didn't we didn't did all kinds of prophetic and

illustrated and we didn't we didn't laid.

We didn't snot it on the floor. We didn't we didn't mean we we

had went in. We didn't shut Sundays down had

church every day. We didn't fast for 40 days.

We didn't fast for 75 days. We fast for three days.

We didn't we didn't worship long.

We didn't worship short. We didn't went into Jackpool

Plaza. We went to art gallery.

We didn't went to Seattle. We didn't went to Aquamento.

We didn't went to Kelowna. We didn't, we didn't, we didn't

went to Abbyss fur. We have carried it around.

The wind is about to blow. The worst thing you can do is do

all of that and not be ready for the tornado you pulled on.

How you gonna start a fight then run?

Matthew 11, he says it's responding to the word time.

It is a time to throw yourself fully at Jesus.

Not one foot fully, not nothing man, not withholding, nothing

complete undone this. This is what he did say.

EJ, there's a lot. Look at the world that we are

in. I want you to really hear what

I'm about to say. There's a lot of tired people in

here. When I say tired, I'm not

talking about you need some sleep.

I I need some sleep. Your soul is tired and that's

what the world is meant to do. Wear us down.

If you If you spend three to five hours on Instagram, you're

so tired. If you spend all day day

dreaming about what's next, you're so tired.

If Jesus is not the main thing, your soul is tired.

Only thing that can keep your soul from being tired is Jesus

being the main thing in your life.

Matthew 11 says this. 28, come to me.

It's crazy, huh? EJ?

We got this. This is what we say to this is

what we say to him. What?

What if we kind of changed our exhortative moments versus

inviting him here like he ain't here.

And then our exhortation was, Lord, we're here.

We're waiting for you. We're here.

He's here. What are you doing to be aware

of His presence? Come to me.

It's an invitation for you. He's pursued you by way of the

cross. How dare us keep on asking Him

to do this and do that for us when a lot of the things we're

asking Him to fix, we didn't start with Him.

We just need Him to bail us out. Savior.

He's not Lord. If he was Lord, you wouldn't be

in the mess you were in the first place.

Come all you. Not pastors, not just the

leaders. All you.

Not the world, all you. Not just the mentally ill.

All you, not the ones you can point out be like they need

Jesus, you do too. All you who labor and are heavy

laden and overburden you see overburden you.

You carrying stuff you don't need to be carrying overburden.

Some of y'all don't look overburdened spiritually you.

Overburdened and I will cause you to rest.

I will cause you to rest, but I first need you to come.

I will ease and I will relieve, and I'll refresh your soul.

I will relieve and refresh your souls.

Take my yoke. Uh oh.

It's a trade, not an addition. If you trying to keep yo yoke

and add his yoke it's not going to work.

His yoke only fit on available necks.

Take your chain off. Take take my yoke up on you and

learn. That's the second.

Part Wow, learn of me so it's not just help me Lord, but if

you're going to walk with him, you got to learn his pace.

You got to learn how he moves. But I am gentle and humble in

heart. You will find rest.

This is the one thing that everyone in the world's looking

for. We need million.

We we trying to be millionaires because if we think it's going

at the end of millionaire, it's going to be rest.

We trying to get married because we think at the end of marriage

is going to be rest. We, we, we doing all these

things is ultimately your soul is crying out for a place of its

original intent to live. Your soul knows it is not being

nourished properly. The world does not have your

soul's best interest, he said. And recreation and blessed quiet

for your souls. For my yoke is wholesome,

useful, good, not. Harsh, hard, sharp or.

Pressing but comfortable, gracious, pleasant and my burden

is light and easy to be born. Then he tells us, carry our

cross. It's almost like we got this

picture of like following Jesus and walking Jesus is one of the

hardest things to do in the world.

It is, but it's also the most rewarding for your tripart.

Being the cross leads to wholeness.

The flesh leads to destruction. That's why you must crucify.

That's why you must be equipped. In the next experience we're

going to find out that there's no peace without order.

So true perfecting is God re establishing order in our lives.

And order comes before peace. So there's no way to get the

peace that transcends all understanding without God's

order. And there's no way to get back

to God's order without perfecting.

So in the next experience, we're going to look at God's call to

peace. But as much as you want his

peace, you will never reach it without maturity, without him

being enough. You will never experience this

peace, Father, we thank You that you love us enough to correct,

to realign, to challenge us. Lord, you sent your only son.

That death would not hold me because it couldn't hold you.

That sin, the wages of sin, could not keep me because it

couldn't keep you. You shed your blood.

You gave us your spirit. You left us your word.

You gave us your name. May your bride rise in this

hour. The Remnant.

That you are. Calling.

May they hear you now. Many called, few chosen.

May the laborers be plenty in this hour.

Lord, expose our blind spots. Lord, may we not be one of the

elect that is drawn away. But we prophesied to the Spirit.

Of life we prophesied to the wind, and we say blow.

We're not asking you to hold off the blowing blow.

Come now when we cry out for revival, Lord, we also are

crying out to be exposed. It's not just for for legs to

grow and gold dust to be sprinkled and and and goosebumps

to pop in for us to just just just simmer in your presence and

say, oh, that was a good night. The Lord was here.

No revival is for transformation, starting with

your house and then it bleeds into the church, into the

streets and culture is impacted by a transformed bride.

Change us Jesus wind blow. No, don't just heal us.

That's just about us. Change us.

Because what I do know is I could still be dealing with an

ailment and and be changed at the same time, but I am not

waiting for healing. In order to be transformed.

The truth sets me free. The sun makes me free indeed.

So while I'm waiting. May I look more like you while

I'm waiting for blank. May I draw nearer to you?

May I cast my cares upon you. May I delight in you first.

May I seek? You first, may I love you first

and. All these cares will be added.

May we have ears to hear. Those that have ears to hear,

let them hear. Those that have eyes to see, let

them see. And I challenge you to keep

eating the meat if you got to start at the milk.

Keep drinking, keep growing, keep leaning in, keep pressing,

keep hungering and thirsting. Keep desiring, keep delighting.

Lord, give us eyes to see in this hour, please.

Loose the grips of mammon over our lives.

We cannot serve 2 masters within the busyness of our lives.

May we not neglect our body? A.

Lot of times. When we get busy, we don't eat

well. We eat fast food, we don't got

time to sit down and eat a hearty meal something of

substance. May your church get back to the

main thing, it's winning souls, making disciples that influence

Vancouver and the rest of the world.

Starting with knowing your love, getting rooted in your love and

being equipped so we can do the work.

But may the work never take place of our relationship.

May we be a people quick to repent in Jesus name, Amen.

Just lift your hands right where you are.

I want you to just take the next 3 minutes and open your own

mouth and begin to pray. I know there's a few people in

here that allowed the Lord to really get into the soul of

their hearts. If that's you, I ask you and I

challenge you, you could stand, you can kneel, but I'm asking

you in this hour to just respond because the enemy comes.

The Bible says immediately to steal the Word, and you cannot

afford to give the enemy any more ground.

So if that's you in this room and you know for a fact that the

Holy Spirit has done something in your heart, respond by

kneeling or lifting your hands or standing.

But we need you to respond to the Word of the Lord.

Take a few moments. The.

The. The.

Holy Spirit, we need the fear of the Lord like never before.

Just lift your hands. Holy Spirit, bring us the fear

of the Lord. But I pray we never lose our

wonder, restore our wonder. Sons and daughters, fix your

eyes on the 1:00. Take your eyes off the waves,

off the winds, Arise, shine. Fix your eyes on Him that you

may have perfect peace. Garrison.

His peace protects your mind. So, Lord, we ask that you, by

your miracle work and power, fix the breaches in our Garrison.

May we partner with You to protect our minds from the lies

of the enemy. May we protect our minds and

cover our brothers and sisters from the accuser of the brethren

that has come to divide. Or may your children get serious

about our Father's business. May we not be OK with this

unity. May we not be comfortable with

murmuring and complaining? It was eyes to.

See like never before in Jesus name, Amen.
